HKIAA at ICAO 59th Conference of DGCA in Cebu, Philippines
HKIAA meets the region’s Directors General and aviation stakeholders during the exhibit and 59th DGCA.
HKIAA just spent the week (14-18 October 2024) at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) 59th Conference of Directors General of Civil Aviation, Asia and Pacific Regions in Cebu, Philippines. The week was filled with many important conversations revolving around the theme of Shaping the Future of Aviation: Sustainable, Resilient, and Inclusive.
The HKIAA had the privilege of joining in the conversation on Capacity Building and Implementation. Our Director, Business Development and Marketing Ms Ada Tse presented a Discussion Paper on Building a Pipeline of ICAO Qualified Instructors for the Asia Pacific Region, showcasing HKIAA’s capability in supporting the training needs in civil aviation.
We appreciated meeting many Director Generals, their delegates and industry colleagues who stopped by the HKIAA booth to visit. It’s always good reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new ones.
The few occasions we remembered to take photos included moments with Hong Kong's Director-General of Civil Aviation Victor Liu, President of the ICAO Council Salvatore Sciacchitano, the Undersecretary for Aviation and Airports, Department of Transportation of the Philippines Atty Roberto C.O. Lim, and the Director General of the Department of Civil Aviation of Lao PDR, Viengxay Singkham, among others.
We were also pleasantly surprised to see a few of our Advanced Master in Air Transport Management (AMATM) programme alumni and the seniors who sent them. It was a proud moment seeing them flourish in their respective spheres of influence.
Last but not least, we appreciate all the coordination and generous hospitality of the host Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, Mactan-Cebu International Airport and other sponsors and supporters of the event.
